Photographer Chris Levitan captured a rare and mesmerizing moment involving Capella, the brightest star in the constellation Auriga. Without any editing, his lens recorded an intriguing figure of double inverted triangles, likely caused by the diffraction of light in an ice crystal that passed through the exact angle as soon as the camera clicked.

Capella, with its apparent magnitude of +0.24, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, positioning itself as a cosmic beacon 42.2 light-years away. Its proximity to the Celestial North Pole makes it even more special for astronomers and sky lovers alike.

This remarkable record shows the magic that unfolds when science and art come together, uncovering phenomena that feel almost impossible to recreate. It makes you wonder—how many more mysteries does the universe still hold?

The music world is mourning the loss of one of their own. Singer/songwriter, Peter Yarrow, best known as a member of the influential folk group Peter, Paul, and Mary, has died, this according to the New York Times.

Yarrow played a pivotal role in shaping the folk music scene of the 1960s and beyond. With his bandmates, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers, Yarrow achieved widespread fame through their hit songs, including “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and “If I Had a Hammer.”

Yarrow’s music was deeply intertwined with the social and political movements of his time, as the group used their platform to advocate for civil rights, peace, and environmental causes. Throughout his career, Yarrow remained committed to activism, working with organizations that promoted education, social justice, and children’s welfare. In addition to his musical contributions, Yarrow produced and composed songs, earning critical acclaim for both his creative work and his efforts to engage with pressing societal issues.

After the disbandment of Peter, Paul, and Mary in the 1970s, Yarrow continued his musical career as a solo artist while maintaining his dedication to activism. He received numerous awards for his artistic and humanitarian work, cementing his legacy as both a musical icon and a tireless advocate for positive social change.

Yarrow was 86, at the time of his passing. His memory will live on through his music.
